what do you mean "what do you guys see in him"? people like his music point blank.

this forum rides his dick way too hard though. theres 9 pages of results when i type drake into the search bar. Hes not the most innovative brilliant musician you guys are making him out to be. imo hes just another mediocre modern rap artist

Only songs I really listen to is the rap ones, those one sound really good to me. But shit like thatr houatlantavegastyle or whatever, that just kills it for me. Drake is kinda like a jack of all trades I think at least.

word, i feel the opposite, for me, i like when he switches it up and sings.
'slow it down' has crazy mellow flow. and his 'take you down freestyle' was cool

all in all. to each their own

9 to 5 is how to survive, i ain't tryin' to survive. i'm tryin' to live it to the limit and love it a lot

i know what you're trying to say
he was in this canadian show called degrassi for a few years and he was just some mediocre teenage actor that no one really cared about. his image today was NOTHING like his image just a year or two ago...and out of nowhere this guy is rapping with guys like jay-z and lil wayne? i wonder how that happened ...

You can sincerely ask this question about any artist. It really isn't something to get all protective and incoherent about. If someone asked me, "hey, why do you like Cannibal Ox so much?", especially if it were coming from someone who didn't see anything in his music, I would just simply explain to him why. It's not that serious that he's asking...I personally don't see anything in Drake. He's a slightly better Lil Wayne reincarnated.

And agreed, J.Cole>>>>>Drake by a whole lot. People tend to compare them a lot.

It wasn't out of nowhere.. He slowly made his way to the top through several mixtapes. He has been putting out mixtapes for a couple years, each one gaining him critical acclaim and more exposure. He didn't pop out of thin air, there were people lined up to sign him for a deal...

I was listening to Drake before he blew up and even then he was kinda meh. A couple of good joints but overall he was okay. The way some people talk about him and stuff make him out to be a god. He's overrated. Doesn't mean he's horrible, it's just that he doesn't really stand out that much from everyone else. He's got a really good hype machine working for him.
